burnish me bright - julia ecklar lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
a box made of glass keeps the real world at bay
i feel the glass press in each word i can’t say
like b*tterflies’ wings crushed beneath the glass panes
a mute can’t for mercy beg, or cry to ease the pain
the glass passes sound only in, never out
i hear what they say of me; i know the things they shout

[chorus 1]
this magical glass, no one but i sees
a wizard might break this spell
his magic set me free

[verse 2]
what magic is left in a world grown so old?
all magic died long ago, so we are often told
my wizard would know where the magic now hides
it passed into silence, where he keeps it yet alive
like magic, his hands teach my silence to sing
and, magically, silence lets the b*tterfly take wing

[chorus 2]
and i am a hawk! a great n0ble tree
the silence is everything
the wizard is the key
[verse 3]
i learn how to speak with my body and eyes
i pantomime miracles in the magic silence buys
i’m no longer tied to a world bound in sound
i silently soar away from the bitter, broken ground
as i knew he must, the wizard hands me his throne
he mimes now to heaven’s halls; i mime to trees, alone

[chorus 3]
burnish me bright, before the night comes
and look down from heaven’s height
to bless the mimes i’ve done

[chorus 4]
burnish me bright, before the night falls
i shine brighter than the stars
the silence makes me all
